What coaching prospects are available after Coach Rose?

BYU Fan

2/6/17 12:27pm

Connor from the Ute coaching staff?

2/6/17 12:29pm

Great coach, but not an option for byu

thebruce

2/6/17 12:43pm

Too bad.

fbguru

2/6/17 12:55pm

Why not? He's LDS (I believe)...and Utah has turned him down 3 times now

jsjohnson1278

2/6/17 2:59pm

Do you have evidence he's not an option?

Shteve

Alex Jensen, Jazz coach. I don't know if he would be interested, but

PhilPete

The list should begin with Jensen.

I knew Alex growing up. I can't speak to his feelings now, but back then his

Jensen's wife is a huge BYU fan, so there would probably be some interest

Austin Ainge, Alex Jensen

Would love to have Alex Jensen.

kansascougar

2/6/17 12:46pm

He'd be the best choice Imo.

thebruce

2/6/17 12:50pm

Anyone who coached under Majerus has to know a lot about Defense as well

ayfan

2/6/17 12:53pm

My top 3 are 1. Alex Jensen 2. Mark Madsen 3. Lewis/pope

thebruce

2/6/17 12:47pm

While options, I highly doubt Jensen or Madsen would take this job.

Shteve

2/6/17 12:52pm

Alex could make a lot more money as a BYU HC then he is right now. If he got

How many former college HC are NBA HC right now? Do the numbers.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:02pm

Snyder is. I'm not digging through every NBA coaches resume. But if you have

Chicago, Utah, Boston, Okc all have former college head coaches.

thebruce

2/6/17 1:27pm

Exactly, odds aren't great at all. Just calling out incorrect facts.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:40pm

there are more: Charlotte, Detroit, Minnesota, San Antonio all were College HC's

ayfan

2/6/17 1:57pm

Yep, and all of them went straight from college HC to NBA HC....

Shteve

'than'

Soy Celeste

2/6/17 5:01pm

I think Jensen would likely consider it.

thebruce

2/6/17 12:55pm

And yes, you're right. There are probably some non-basketball aspects

Shteve

2/6/17 1:48pm

Madsen is in line to become an NBA HC. He isn't really an option for BYU.

CaliWG

2/6/17 12:53pm

Madsen isn't even the lead assistant for the Lakers. I do think he may be an

thebruce

He's gone from player development to a front row assistant in two years

Still only 30 jobs. Not easy to get one... Could be 20 yrs from

thebruce

Going to restate it again. Theres a reason they chose the NBA over college.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:45pm

And there's a reason many coaches choose college over nba.

thebruce

2/6/17 1:55pm

Let me rephrase that. Those that taste the NBA usually stay there.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:57pm

I still think that is an incorrect narrative.

thebruce

2/6/17 2:04pm

Jensen decided he didn't like the college coaching thing when he

jsjohnson1278

2/6/17 2:57pm

Basketball vs. baby-sitting.

Shteve

2/6/17 3:11pm

I haven't seen anything from him that says he didn't enjoy college coaching.

thebruce

2/6/17 3:29pm

Signed Billy Donovan, Larry Brown, etc...

2/6/17 4:21pm

Madsen wanted the UVU job. Seems the BYU job would be at least as attractive.

Why are there very few basketball and football coaches that come out of the BYU

RC Vikings

Utah has a lot of good options to replace krysco some day.

thebruce

Maybe because most BYU grads want to earn more money

Playing experience matters a lot.

Shteve

2/6/17 4:32pm

Question should be with Rose, Assistants

New assistants! Coach Rose can recruit but he needs a

YILBYU

actually think Barrett Peery would be good.

GeauxCougs

2/6/17 1:51pm

What makes you think he wouldn't rub our athletes

rockhound

2/6/17 4:22pm

I don't know that he won't. He's a talented guy

GeauxCougs

If Pope improves at UVU before Rose retires it will be Pope
